The January transfer window is closing and the last few days are set to be a frenzy for Kenny Dalglish, Damien Comolli and the new FSG owners as they look to improve Liverpool’s squad with world-class talent.

Liverpool has been linked with all sorts of players, though strikers, wide players and defenders have been tipped as priorities.

Some moves for world-class players — including a certain Uruguayan striker — are close to becoming realities, but the market remains unpredictable and wide open.

Surely though, Liverpool supporters will have some shiny new toys to be excited about come February.
